Asked to explain why Rep. Paul Broun, a doctor who sits on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, would call evolution "lies from the pits of hell," the Republican's spokesperson said, "Dr. Broun was speaking off the record to a large church group about his personal beliefs regarding religious issues."

From a New York Times article called "Helping a Child to Come Out": "In our family, we knew that Joseph was probably gay, and we saw in
problems he was having at school that he was under psychological
pressure… But we were reluctant to force him out of his
closet. We asked our gay friends what they would have wanted at Joe’s age. They
confirmed: don’t push, unless Joe seemed to be in real distress. It’s
his secret to reveal, they said." That echoes what Sally Field said at HRC's dinner last night.

Patrick Abner on his recent marriage to MSNBC's Thomas Roberts: "I never imagined in a million years that I would be on a stage kissing

that and have not just my father but my whole family be proud of me,
that’s something special."

Journalist Mark Oppenheimer has penned an e-book about LGBT activist and fellow journalist Dan Savage. "Never before have we glimpsed Savage’s

Richard Tisei, the openly gay Republican congressional candidate from Massachusetts, dismissed incumbent John Tierney comparisons between his politics and the Tea Party's. "I’m the only gay, pro-choice Republican who wouldn’t sign the [Grover]
Norquist pledge" he told the Washington Blade. "I
don’t think [Tierny] realized how much he’s damaged his own credibility.
Rather than talking about what he’s done over a 16-year period. Trying
to paint me as some type of Right Wing extremist is just so off-the-wall
that it damages his own credibility."
